Popsicle plastic molds. You can purchase these in the kitchen section of most big box stores and chain stores with kitchen sections (i.e. Kohl’s, Bed Bath and Beyond). They come in various sizes and with various types of lids/sticks.

Small glasses, such as shot glasses. A number of recipe authors used small glasses for molds, such as little shot glasses. If you already have these on hand, that’s perfect. Otherwise, you should be able to pick up a small set without spending too much.

Ice cube trays. In a pinch, ice cube trays are always an easy options. Additionally, if you want to serve smaller Popsicles, this is something to consider.

Please note: Unless you are using molds that come with handles or sticks, make sure that you include sticks in your Popsicle mixtures before freezing them. Most people opt for craft sticks, which are available in the kid craft section of big box stores.

Ice. If you will be serving Popsicles at a party and not everyone is eating one right away, make sure to keep them in molds and on ice so that there is minimal melting.

TEQUILA SUNRISE POPSICLES

directions:
In a measuring cup combine cranberry juice cocktail, lime juice, and honey. Using 8 plastic frozen pop molds or 3-ounce paper cups, pour 4 teaspoons of the juice mixture into the bottom of each. Freeze for 1 hour or until firm but not hard. In another liquid measuring cup combine orange juice and tequila.

MOJITO POPSICLES

Purée all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Skim off any foam, then pour the mixture into molds. Freeze for an hour, then insert the popsicle sticks (if the popsicles aren’t firm enough, wait a little bit longer). Freeze until the popsicles are firm, overnight or up to 24 hours, depending on the size of your molds.
